The availability of open, high-quality, consistent, and comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data is essential to understanding the global trend in GHG emissions, and for countries to see their
Despite the existence of a large and growing literature on the potential impact of climate change on agriculture, there still exists some disagreement about the magnitude and even the sign. Research suggests that the impact on U.S.
Northeast India, being situated in the transition zone of Indian, Indo-Malayan and Indo-Chinese biogeographic regions, harbour a rich biological diversity, which is a well known fact. This is also a transition zone between the low-lying Indian peninsula and highlands of Himalayan mountain which also makes it an abode of diverse flora and fauna.
This report details the nevertheless silent crisis occurring around the world today as a result of global climate change. It is a comprehensive account of the key impacts of climate change on human society. Long regarded as a distant, environmental or future problem, climate change is already today a major constraint on all human efforts.
The biggest threat to global stability is the potential for food crises in poor countries to cause government collapse.
Agriculture will be greatly impacted by climate change and will require substantial adaptation efforts. At the same time, the agricultural sector is responsible for a significant amount of global greenhouse gas emissions, and has an important potential role in climate change mitigation.
Sea-level rise (SLR) due to climate change is a serious global threat: The scientific evidence is now overwhelming.
The world is running up huge ecological debts, just as it has run up huge financial debts. Neither is sustainable. Leaders cannot successfully put capitalism back together again without at the same time fixing the greatest single consequence of unsustainability
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. It has been historically driven by an atmospheric build-up of greenhouse gases (GHGs) generated mostly by the industrialized world. The consequences of climate change
This paper sets out the arguments for and against such approaches on the basis of equity and effectiveness, that is, will these approaches help achieve a fair and safe deal on climate change?
Agriculture is now recognised as both contributing to and suffering from the negative effects of climate change. Farming accounts for as much as 32% of greenhouse gas emissions, if
